Was his big arm. Often times big arm QBs have a hard time dialing it down for everything else below a deep ball or deep in/deep out. Brandon in 2 years hasn't gotten comfortable at all throwing short and intermediate throws. He's thinking wayyyy too much and the ball is sailing or dying. As it stands now, I think if Jurko does sign he'll be the starter come game one 2018. His arm looks much more natural and the ball comes out easy. In this offense, arms like Rees are actually better suited than a Wimbush. Kizer's arm was perfectly suited for this offense but his development slipped because BK put everything on him to make the play vs letting the supporting talent do that.
Wimbush is a talented athlete but he's not a spread-offense QB in BK's system. Ian Book might be a good backup and Avery Davis could be slightly better or worse but not certain he's the starter type. Jurko is just HS senior so I'm not going to anoint him anything but QBs nowadays coming out of HS aren't like they were even 10yrs ago. Watching QBs with similar releases to Jurko's it really makes this offense move because it's like a long hand off if the ball gets to the WR quickly and it's just a one-on-one situation. if the ball takes a half sec longer to get out it gets dangerous and for some reason BWs quick throws just take a bit too long. Sometimes its the stupid PA fake that isnt really necessary other times it's his wind up. And them sailing isn't going to lure new talent to want to play at ND. He's got a few guys hurt this year.
I really, really hope Wimbush figures out his mechanics to get these simple throws out naturally...just have a feeling it might be too late. Not sure if Jurko is going to be an early enrollee but if he is...B-Dub is going to have a fight on his hands. He may no matter when PJ enrolls...
